A member asked:

Will a heart murmur that hasn't given you any problems make it harmful to have sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Most can engage in sexual activity as long as there no respiratory or cardiac deficiencies. Anectdotally, one will "not come and go" at the same time with non compromising heart murmurs.
